Video Game Reviews of Metroid Classic
Customer Review: Classic Game, but not worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Alright, first to everyone hating on this game for being too hard. What are you talking about? It's very much so beatable. I can see that you'd be mad about that you start with only 30 energy and every time you load a game, it's 30 energy, but I mean.... I didn't have a problem with that (and I'm not even a pro at this. I had never played it before). Just play through it in one sitting if that bothers you so much.
Anyway, this game is awesome. If you're looking at this, you probably know how great the Metroid series is, so I won't go into why this game rocks. I have just two problems with it. One: It needed a map. It's hard to figure out where you are. I fixed that by finding one on the Internet, but it should be built into the game. Two: Some areas of lava won't let you get out. You can tell it was supposed to because of the lowered platform, but you can only get even with it. I guess the developers didn't check everything before it was released. It will make you mad when you just have to sit in the lava and watch your 4 energy packs drain away. Thus, I had to take off for the "fun" level. Too much frustration at times, but hey, that's how it was back in the day.
Of course, there's no reason to buy the stand-alone original. Get Metroid: Zero Mission instead. It has the game remade as a GBA title (with an added twist). That's all I'll say about Zero Mission. And after you beat it, you unlock the original Metroid FOR FREE. That's a bargain. So yeah, get Metroid: Zero Mission. Even if you agree with everybody who thinks it's impossibly hard to beat the original, you can still play through ONE game.
